Synopsis: Gelsie is desperate to find her two older sisters after they disappear under mysterious
circumstances, but the more she looks for answers, the less she understands about the world and her place in it.
Characters:
GELSIE - F. Late teens/early twenties. Intelligent, loving, and riddled with anxiety. A bundle of
nerves and the desire to do the right thing.
ROSA - F. Early twenties. Temperamental, sardonic. One of those manic pixie dream girls.
DIANE - F. Early to mid twenties. Confident, magnetic, and agreeable.
JOSTA - F. Late forties to late sixties. Eccentric, bitingly clever, and half-crazy.
MOTHER - F. Early forties to early fifties. Fretful and somewhat overbearing.
MR. BOLTING - M. Mid thirties to mid forties. A very wealthy man. Sly, bombastic, and
menacing.
ANDREW - M. Mid twenties to early thirties. A photographer. Charming, boyish, a little
pedantic and occasionally condescending.
TAVIA - F. Mid twenties to early thirties. A bartender at Birds of Paradise. World-wary and
self-assured.
DARTER - M. Late twenties to late thirties. Diane’s husband, and a dockworker. Mellow.
DANIO - M. Late twenties to late thirties. Rosa’s boyfriend, and a dockworker. Belligerent.
